TEST DRIVE - Part 3

Maybe you've been here for a while, or maybe you just got here. Either way, you're all in the same situation - you've been turned into a magical gemstone and stranded in a foreign world! And all you've been left with is the clothes on your back, stripped of all powers except one.

Clearly, you’ll just have to make the best of it.

How this works:

☆ This is a test drive for [community profile] cosmographia, which means you should get a little familiar with the setting and premise.

☆ Otherwise, this is just meant to help you feel out how you may play and serves mainly as a chill interest gathering and get together kind of post! No app necessary, and you don't need to play in this post to apply - or vice versa.

☆ Everybody is welcome! There are no character limitations; pg au oc canon pigeon whatever. Just toss up a topcomment and/or jump any threads that pique your interest.

☆ This post will remain open until it begins to approach 5000 comments! Then a new test-drive post will be made.

☆ Rules-wise: Be cool to yourself and others, and keep in mind the other game rules too.

☆ If you do apply to the game and are accepted, and you want to keep the CR, you may so long as what you did isn't setting breaking and everyone involved agrees.


YOUR OPTIONS:

☆ You find yourself in the Heart of a ruined temple. There is a large glowing gem that thrums with some kind of rhythm, and jewels scattered all over the room, kept in strange bubbles. At the very least, touching the large gem will give you a standard info-dump, but some of you might be a little cautious about touching weird luminescent gems. Good thing that there are other people there too!

☆ Or perhaps you already know everything there is to know, and are there in the Heart of the Ruined Temple to greet new arrivals. Or perhaps you simply had business there already, like storing away a corrupted gem from a monster, when someone new seemingly dropped in from no where.

☆ It's Farmer's Market day in the plaza of Waverly Bay! Perhaps you're there perusing the goods and strike up conversation, or accidentally bump into someone and get to know them that way. It's a fairly standard day.

☆ There's an event! You don't really know what else to call them - missions, perhaps? But something in the temple was triggered, and the glowy Heart gem has something new to "tell" you: If you want a new power, you should try telling other people two truths and a lie. Those who you interact with must try and divine the lie from your statements.

You have no idea how something this simple will get you a power, but hey.
topgun_textiles: (I guess that's okay.)

...Shit, you're gettin' really quick with that. Can ya change the color of 'em?
pishirogane: (Perhaps you could explain)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2016-01-21 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
... I haven't tried.

[Since that was a cosmetic thing and she didn't care for it... Looking at the flowers, she decided to try. For a moment, there's nothing... but they soon yield and turn silver.]
topgun_textiles: (Uh oh.)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2016-01-21 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
[A sound of delight when the silver color bled from the inside and outward to the tips of the petals.]

That's awesome!

[He hesitated, then, and backed off.]

...Sorry... I remember colorin' water for these daisies I grew as a kid, so I could make blue ones or purple ones or somethin'. Jus' kinda reminded me of that.
pishirogane: (Shut your face)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2016-01-21 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[She blinked at his outburst and flushed. Immediately, she drew her hand away and called the flowers off just as he backed away.]

Ah... that's fine. I didn't know you would try experimenting with flowers like that.

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2016-01-21 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
[He shrugged, looking away.]

I read about it somewhere. Can't remember where.

I guess it ain't much of a stretch when it comes to me, but I think flowers are kinda... pretty, and cute...

[personal profile] pishirogane 2016-01-21 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
I see...

[She doesn't even comment on him calling flowers 'pretty, and cute'.] I believe I may have come across something similar before discussing how to dye flowers. Though, it may have been an article on people who attempt to breed flowers to be various colors.
topgun_textiles: (Frankly my dear I think that's stupid.)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2016-01-21 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Ah- tulips! Or was it sweet peas...?
pishirogane: Icon by: <user name=pishirogane> (Neutral)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2016-01-21 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
Tulips. Though, the sweet pea is a result of cross-breeding.
topgun_textiles: (I guess that's okay.)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2016-01-22 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Damn... thought I remembered somethin' from class for a minute. Genetics was crazy and I felt left behind during the whole damn lecture.

Uh- anyway. Thanks, y'know? For humoring me. If I learn any new gem stuff, I'll letcha know and maybe make it blink or sparkle or somethin' just as cool!
pishirogane: (Vivid blue)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2016-01-22 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
It's complicated when you begin trying to understand it, but it becomes easier.

Of course, Kanji-kun. I look forward to seeing what you may discover.
topgun_textiles: ([Shades] What's up?)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2016-01-26 12:22 pm (UTC)(link)
It gets easier to figure out how people're built? God, I hope so... I bombed my science classes big time. Ain't nobody gonna see a Professor Tatsumi any time soon.

[He smiled, despite himself.]

Heh, sure thing. You'll be the first to know when I get real fancy!

[But he paused before one of the chambers, and stared.]

...Whoa, I just had a weird feeling. Like a strong, good feeling about this room. But I don't see name plates or somethin' anywhere to note whose room is whose...
pishirogane: Icon by: <user name=pishirogane> (Amused)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2016-01-27 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think Professor Tatsumi would be the right job for you anyway.

[No offense meant, but Kanji... he just had another role more fitting for him.]

Weird feeling? Ah... this would be your room.

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2016-01-29 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[He nodded wordlessly, finding nothing wrong with the idea of this being his room. So maybe the gem was telling him something!]

...So I guess this is my stop, yeah? I wanna see what I can find in there, maybe keep an ear out for some kinda clue.

I wanna make damn sure that faerie didn't follow us here somehow.
pishirogane: Icon by: <user name=pishirogane> (Neutral)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2016-01-29 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
Of course.

I doubt she has, but I'm not going to stop you from making sure. My room is three doors down and on the left if you need me.
topgun_textiles: (Denial)

[personal profile] topgun_textiles 2016-01-30 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
After all the shit she pulled when she visited, can ya really blame me?

...But I gotcha. [He wanted her to be right, deep down. He just wanted to make sure that she was.]

I'll, uh, seeya 'round, Naoto.
pishirogane: (Not a dress up doll Rise)

[personal profile] pishirogane 2016-01-30 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
No. Your paranoia is justified.

[And she'd rather not have that fae around either...]

Yes. I'll see you later, Kanji-kun.

[About to bow, she paused, and tried a curtsy instead. It was awkward, and Naoto felt awkward about trying so she cleared her throat, nodded her head once, and quickly retreated to her room.]
